Planet Elysium

[Rockman Striker]

Some of you know i´m creating a game (i know, "who needs fan games now that MML3 is in development":? ME ;D ) it´s name is Master System, ( mmls.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fangames&action=display&thread=3543 ) it´s based on Elysium, million of years before MML1, and now that i realized we never really saw that planet more than it´s underground areas and some floating (?) islands, and i can´t imagine how the planet would look like, here are some of my thoughts:

While the Elder System was active, there were humans living on the planet, so it must have plants and water, and i can imagine big futuristic cities, strange tall buildings and robots "living" with humans.

Later, on the Master System government there were only 1 human living, so i can see desolated cities and areas with too many vegetation, some big jungles and such.

We didn´t know the planet´s position relative to the sun, (if it´s our sun) so we don´t know if it had different seasons, for example.

That´s all, my imagination can´t go further, how do you think the planet looked like? what kind of vegetation had? there were some animals?

Hmm well, Maybe not animals, but definitely some kinda of 'non-human' creatures...surely they had a few insects and so forth, but...those wouldn't be graphically possible.

Maybe they had a few medieval-like castles but with a Master-system -sh feel to their overall looks?

I really never put a though on that... but here are my opinions:


It is not shown if it behaves like the moon... come to think of it, we don't get to see the moon. Mostly scenes are on daylight. So I'm guessing that it could be the moon... Also thre's debris all around it, and as seen in MML1 when Juno talks about Eden, thre's a lot of space junk. Probably from artificial sattelites.. but thsoe couldn't just blow up. So I think they were destroyed for being useless due to the technology advance.

Another thing is that Elysium could BE the moon. Seems to have the same size. SO the moon could be escavated and then Elysium was built in it.

Okay enough about Elysium's origins, now for other stuff:

Elysium must have some sort of artificial weather... or something.. Since there isn't the gravity effect as well (And I mean from the beggining). Its obvious it has an artificial gravity.

And also an artificial atmosphere of course. That is necessary.

About the buildings.. we can't enter them but I imagine that there's much more beneath the ground of those floating islands... I don't know... they could be more than mere houses.
And that fact is stated by looking at the Master's House.

I'm 100% certain that we didn't saw everything in Elysium... in fact if you look at the map tehre are several places in Residential area that are impossible to reach (kinda obvious with the broken warp gates). So I'm guessing... farms or something else to make food for everyone.. something futuristic? XD

According to the Master, every aspect of Elysium was perfect. Meaning they had (possibly) taken everything from earth, farms, forests, oceans, etc. And raised them to a state of perfection, meaning everything attempted in them would succeed. But then, if the Master was the last living human at 3,000 years old (approximately, based on what he told Megaman), then what happened to all the rest? According to the Master, no human on Elysium could die. This means they moved somewhere else. Could there possibly be another Elysium? That's a concept I had not before considered, but it would make sense to have multiple Elysiums, since the humans could not die. Unless the Master was the last living on Terra, and built Elysium because he was afraid of death, and built the betas (carbons) because he didn't want to be alone? This is suggested by Sera when Geetz asked why the Master cared so much for Megaman.

All in all, there is no clear description of Elysium anywhere, or if it was the Master's ultimate creation. There could be untold other space stations out there similar to or surpassing the capabilities of Elysium.

From what exystredofar wrote, i think that they have animals taken from earth, farm and domestic, maybe some wild ones to avoid extinction.

The humans on Elysium would build machines for various purposes, being the main objective to serve humans, there will be protection, construction, cooking, farming units, and almost every work activity, that would make a "perfect" planet for humans, meaning they only had to worry for themselves.

Humans always tend to feel superior from others, so this will be the case on Elysium.


That little lights would be houses from low to medium human classes, while the "elders" or prominent humans lived on floating islands.

About the planet itself, i don´t think it´s the moon, since it have different color and shape:

Also i was staring at the symbol on it, maybe that´s how it looks the entire "network" of some kind of command center, which function is to keep the planet in order, here is where mother units watch over the humans and reaverbots.

Also, maybe there where some high class units (Prototype anthro units, bureaucratic models) that also lived on Elysium, i thought of some residential area for only robots.

I always pictured it as a gigantic space-station. There isn't really a surface to walk on, and the 'outside' areas are actually chambers inside, with artificial sky and climate control etc. This would be much easier and explain why there are clouds yet the from-space-view shows no clouds- just geometric grooves.

[doppeli]

Heya!
i always saw it as an spacestation from inside (like ash just said) but i never came with a idea of huge futuristic cities on surface... there would be more those islands where humans lived once



and i always saw that as a sea... though now you said it it could look like a somesort of cityscape but since it goes like that as far as you can see id say its more like a sea... heh an
artificial sea on constructed planet just imagine what kind of reaverbots there would have swimmed or is still actively swimming :25:


Edit's: so much typos in few sentences...

[Loken]

How could Rock be bored with a city that big on Elysium?

[doppeli]

guess it is a cityscape then

holy hell its HUGE

[Mikéy]

Awww so Megaman's stuck on a platform high above a planet resembling Coruscant, a planet that's just one big city. That's a real shame, no?

They didn't tell a lot about Elysium, and there's not a whole lot we can really look at. As far as we can assume by the map, those areas are just more houses, because they look exactly the same on the map, but we still don't know what was in those houses because the doors are jammed. Pretty "cute" excuse on Capcom's part.

If anybody ever looked down while fighting 2nd Sera, it actually looks like a "frozen vortex" of sorts. I dunno if it's the rendering, or what it is. (The eye of the mother unit symbol maybe?) I'm drawing a blank myself.

But, we don't know so much about Elysium that you can't just build up some conclusions on your version. We can always call Capcom's version false because they make it look more like a hell than a haven with all of the bosses and defenses in the defense and mother zone.

[Rockman Striker]

I imagine Megaman could get down of that floating islands via portals or Mother unit´s teleportation, so he isn´t stuck on one island.
About the place where Megaman fought Sera, maybe is some kind of alternate space on Elysium, since the place looks too weird.
